Sears alternative to Smart Strip

--- Quote from: arcadepcnut on July 11, 2006, 01:09:32 pm ---so can anyone confirm or deny this is adjustable? Two say it is and one or two say it isn't. I installed a relay into a power strip but the relay itself is $8 and the power strip is 3-4$ no to mention time to install it. This looks like a real viable option for us! Can someone do a review on how this works?

Mine is definitely not. There are no adjustment screws or any removable covers of any type that would indicate adjustability. Just an On/Off switch and 3 outlets. It did work for me under what I consider the lightest possible loads I'd possibly use, a PC on the trigger outlet and monitor on the slave.

Edit for arcadenut: I just reread the thread, and I think you're confusing the Bits Limited strip which has the adjustment screw with the Sears version that doesn't. Didn't see where anyone claimed the Sears version was adjustable.

I've had one of these in my cab for almost 3 years now, and I have had no problems at all with it.  The one I have is definitely not adjustable. 

Also, just like mentioned here, I use an extension cord to connect this to the wall, have the computer connected to the 'control' port, and a regular power strip plugged into the 'switched' outlet. The monitor, marquee lights, speaker amp etc are plugged into the standard power strip. 

And yeah, the guys at sears will probably have no idea where to find this.  Mine was by the circular saws on an end cap of an isle when I found it.
